Question
Bsd In a difficult emotional and mental state, is it permissible to fulfill the obligation of Birkat Hamazon with Al HaMichya? Best regards
Answer
Shalom Rav
The blessing of Al HaMichya does not suffice in place of Birkat Hamazon.
In cases of emotional distress, one should recite from Birkat Hamazon what they are able to, and not burden the soul beyond its capacity.
